ACEH MISSION 7: MEETING ACEH FIGURES AT VARIOUS OCCASIONS

With Deputy Governor of Aceh
This is my last posting on Aceh trip.

In between the scheduled programmes, we were given opportunities to meet at various occasions and establish networking with many important figures in Aceh. Among them were former (two-terms) Bupati Bapak H. Syamsunan Mahmud who is presently the Ketua Dewan Pertimbangan, Aceh Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Executive Director of the Aceh Chamber of Commerce and Industry  Bapak H. Kahnir Rajiun, Head of Banda Aceh Parliament Bapak Yudi Kurnia, Head of Majelis Permusyawaratan  Ulama Provinsi Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Professor Dr Teungku H. Muslim Ibrahim, Head of  Banda Aceh Bank of Indonesia Bapak Mahdi,  (Informal) Adviser to the Aceh Governor on Human Resources Development Professor Jasman J. Ma`ruf, and Secretary of Aceh Development Planning Agency (Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah Aceh, BAPPEDA) Bapak Dr. Warqah Helmi.
Alhamdulillah, the trip to Aceh was a short but very fruitful one with many accomplishments. Praying that Allah swt will help ISDEV to help post-tsunami Aceh, InshaAllah.
